In NOLA, try The Gumbo Shop for reasonably priced creole cooking. Also consider Brennan's for breakfast but bring a Brinks truck for the tab.

In the Mobile, Alabama area try Felix's on the Causeway for good seafood.

In Pensacola, we would recommend Peg Leg Pete's and Flounders for a good time.

Singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett's new $48 million Margaritaville Casino & Restaurant is under construction in Biloxi and should open in May 2012, according to Creel. The casino complex will be built in three phases, with the $48 million first phase featuring a 68,000-square-foot casino, a restaurant and bar overlooking Biloxi's Back Bay, a 17,000-seat event center and a boat dock with slips so guests can pull their boats up to the casino.
17,000 event center...hmmm :wink:

Don't forget about the Hangout!! :D
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

I'm not impressed with the Hangout.
I've only been there during the day,
so maybe it's a better nightspot.

Where would you stay if you could land anywhere in between the Pensacola and Biloxi area? Keep in mind I do need some type of entetainment close by, besides the ocean.

I'm telling you he is getting ready to ease up off of the road a bit and this is part of his grand scheme. Jimmy looooves the stage. He's going to have his own private auditorium with a boat docked outside in the area he grew up in.
Not a bad plan at all.
